Scouts visit Janus Foundation project

It’s a working farm on the edge of the Mountain Pine Ridge that runs a unique program for vocational education and environmental consciousness. Today over a hundred scouts from all over the country got the chance to visit the Janus Foundation’s project site and get a hands on feel for what it’s all about.

Gabrielle Wollensack, President, Janus Foundation

“The Scouts expedition represents the Janus Foundation sincere commitment to the social development and the environmental development of the country Belize. We want to bring together both aspects of social development and environmental development. These two objectives really go hand in hand and especially in meeting these young people of Belize, and they are really coming from all districts of Belize today, shows that learning to really develop their human resources and at the same time they are really going towards the environment, towards their our country. In this group they really learn what it means to self-discipline, to really look at everything in life with respect. So this day today, the scout expedition to the Janus project site, really means that it is coming together, because our organization works in social commitment in education, in skills training and we have a strong focus in the environmental aspects. So this is another step of really showing our commitment towards this development.”

The Janus Foundation has in the past worked with disadvantaged youths from the CYDP program and now works closely with CET and other organizations to assists young people obtain marketable skills.
